He imagines fire coming out, focusing on the water.
Suddenly, a vision came.
A dragon spinning out of his hand, the view in front wasn't a lake but what looks to be a forest.
'Future sight?' He shook his head, 'I hope is not passive, or real.' "But I already have a bit of such ability before but I will just forget a few seconds later, till it happens." He hit his head, "Ahh just stop thinking about later, think about the present!"
A fired bullet shot out from his hand, and he flew back a little...
"Too bad I didn't remember the hand signs... Fireball justu! or something like that.." A smirk widen on his face, "Summoning!" He bites his thumb, "Ow! How do they do it! Wait I use blood to write my book... But that's different..? Whatever!!" He spread his blood on one palm.
"Summoning justu!" He press the hand on the ground, but nothing came out. 'Maybe such stuff is different in this world... Oh, yea I wanted to find the library here..'
He rubs his hair, "One step at a time darn it!" He sits down on the soft ground, 'First, knowledge. So I should visit the library, then strength. Without knowledge, I won't know how to build my strength.'
A sudden thought emerge, 'I remember a YouTube video I use to watch! Maybe I can practice the exercise to train my Stamina.. but I don't have a watch... I can still count come on me!' Standing up, rubbing the dirt off his already brown pants, he heads off to find the library.
'I remember a book there was a gu that relies on evidence... wait that is for the detective.. never mind..' He sighs in his mind, as he walks around. 'I never notice, but I can understand the words here.. Good sign!'
After wandering around, he finally found the library.
It's just a two-story store with free books to view. He enters it, and someone behind the counter glances towards him.
"What do you want here? Just to sightsee?" The old man behind the counter asks grumbly, he is leaning against the wall while sitting on a stool, he wears a hat that covers his head, and he has bread covering most of his face. He seem to be sleeping before.
'This is the first human interaction I have had since I came.. how do I reply??' Many thoughts flew by his head at once, "Sightsee?" He naturally replied how he would do so in his previous world, shaking his finger and head, "What's the point of having a sightsee in the library?" He points outside, "Climb some building and boom! Sightsee!" He raised his arm, before coughing, "I'm here to read some books."
"You ain't from here."
That sentence froze him, as he look at the old man.
"Yea! I'm from another city!"
"No one here knows what a city is, kid." The old man looks like he is smiling, "This is district sixteen. Let's exchange some information."
"This is the moment where I feel like a cowboy." I said out loud, "And this is the moment I want a shovel to dig myself out."
The old man laughs, "Funny one kid, now come over." He sits up straight, he is wearing a simple grey shirt and dark grey shorts. "Take a seat, literally." He threw a wooden stool at him.
"Ah!" I quickly try and dodge it and but the stool bounced off the ground.
"That's my talent, rubber. I can make things I touch to rubber. What about you?" The old man asked, as Lex grab the stool and sit on it.
Looking at the old man in front of him, I placed my arm on the counter, with a smirk I asked, "Who knows if that really is your power, perhaps it is only related but your actual power is to reshape atoms."
The old man also leans in, placing both arms on the counter,
"I guess it right?" Lex ask smugly.
The old man quickly uses one finger and flick Lex's forehead, causing him to lose balance and fall off the stool, hitting the ground hard.
"Oof." He said, "That hurts.."
"That was my actual talent, idiot."
"Right right, don't mind me." He slowly got up while rubbing his back, then he sit down again. "Info for info, what's your name?"
'The first thing you want to ask is the name, interesting.' The old man thought, "Name's Urn."
"Huhh??"
"Like turn, but without the T."
"Ohh..." Lex nod to himself, "Name's Lex." He smiles while saying that, "Alright bucko. What year did you left?"
"I was a soldier for world war two." Urn replied.
"Alright! Time to catch up to the year.. 2022!" He began explaining what happen from world war two onwards."
After a few hours.
"And that's what happen all these years. Great to finally talk to someone about it, you're the first person I talk to too."
"Don't you get lonely not talking to anyone?"
"Nah, I have my head to keep company." He taps on his head, "So, any basic information to pass on to me? About this world?"
"Definitely."
